Introducing a Nutrition Protocol in a Dental Practice

Dentists often recommend a soft food diet to patients following procedures and oral surgeries. Patients, however, are rarely given guidelines on how to achieve this. Furthermore, recommended soft foods aren’t always healthy. As a healthcare practitioner, you have the ability to guide your patients to a healthy diet that has the ability to impact their recovery and their results. This talk will guide you through the basics of incorporating a health-minded nutrition protocol into your dental treatments.
